We booked a table for dinner for family and they loved the ambience of the place and the hospitality provided by the owner Suzy. The food was quite a mix of flavours and really worked well for us as we were looking for some different delicacies to try in vegetarian. The place also offers gluten free food which was a plus as we had friends who wanted gluten free items. All in all a pleasant evening in a warm environment made for a lovely dinner.

We had a beautiful brunch with Santa. He was so sweet and the food was amazing. I had the sticky chicken and waffles and they were excellent. My 6 year old had the grown up rainbow waffles and devoured the whole plate.
